Colin Powell North Quotations

We have no intention of invading North Korea or taking hostile action against North Korea,

Unless North Korea ends its program, it cannot expect the benefits of relations with the outside world.

We stand ready to help, but that help can only come when North Korea has abandoned its programs to achieve a nuclear weapons capability, something that the international community thought it had done years ago,

This time, we want a better solution, we want a solution that involves all the countries in the region. I hope North Korea understands that,

Anything we say to the North Koreans would be known to our friends and partners. There will be no secrets,

And anything the North Koreans say to us will be shared with our friends and partners, because this is going to be an open, transparent process.
